Do-it-yourself VMworld blogging

I've been watching the tweets and blog posts as folks arrive home from VMworld. This weekend or Monday I'll pull together the links as the last of the session notes come online and the show wrap-ups and big picture summaries...

16.08.2016 #31: GSoC with KDE Now – 9Hey ! I’m making KDE Now, an application for the Plasma Desktop. It would help the user see important stuff from his email, on a plasmoid. It’s similar to what Google Now does on Android. To know more, click here. Roughly three weeks have passed since I last blogged about my project. School started and it was tough finding time for everything let alone blogging. This year’s Summer of Code is reaching it’s end and I have much to talk about this time around. In the end I also have a surprise for you. To start with, I worked on the Database I talked abou...08.02.2018 ChoqokChoqok is a Free, fast, efficient and simple to use micro-blogging client for K Desktop Environment.

If you, as a KDE developer, get annoyed with a KDE feature you didn’t write and feel like blogging about your bad interaction with a part of KDE or a spat with another KDE developer then please don’t. You have every right to do so but it isn’t good for you, it isn’t good for the other developer and it is really bad for KDE. The problem with a community like KDE doing the majority of their work online is that sometimes we forget basic social rules of interaction. If your blog is o...03.03.2008 Thiago Macieira (thiago): Many new Qt releasesThe former former Release Manager had a saying: The release is not out until you blog about it So I’m doing a 3-in-1 blog! Qt 4.3 A week and a half ago, we released old news now (even though it’s only my first beta for Qt 4.4, containing a lot of new features, like backends, Qt Concurrent, improved printing support, Aliens, a lot that Trolltech have blogging Qt/Embedded for Windows CE. It’s now the fifth platform that Qt supports, after X11, Windows, Mac and Embedded Linux (QWS). It’s the result of a year and a half of work done mostly by the Trolltech Berlin office, tr...04.03.2008 Dirk Mueller: The Genesis of a Plasma patchAt one day, there was a patch. The patch was small and in early development, and it was posted to the Plasma review board. A couple of minutes later, the patch was rejected. Many reasons were given: The patch didn't have the right intention, it would cause bitrod, and it broke the coding style. Not a big thing, this happens every day in a Free Software Environment. Neither something to get excited about nor something to loose hair over it. Thats the end of the story? Not quite, in the bible it took 7 days as well, right?. So lets look at it a bit more closely. Day one: The review said that the...07.03.2008 Rafael Fernandez Lopez (ereslibre): Concurrent programming… err… thinkingI guess all of us have felt this thing at some point. We have tons of projects, we want all them become true, and days are still having 24 hours. Apart from the typical bugfixing where we see bugs and we try to fix them (what also takes time), I am working on several things at the moment: KUIServer (what will be hopefully called JobViewServer): I have this interface and implementation finished [thanks to everybody that made suggestions, specially to Kevin for his tips]. The idea is to get this feature into KDE 4.1, have it well tested, and afterwards, write a paper to freedesktop to see if we...08.03.2008 Boudewijn Rempt (boud): On being part of a publicity machineI doubt anyone but myself has noticed, but I've been blogging less and less lately. Partly because I've been really busy, but also because everytime I was writing an entry for Fading Memories I was thinking of whether it would help or detract from the KDE publicity machine that Planet KDE has become. I have always maintained that since I never asked for syndication on any planet, I didn't care whether what I wrote fit in or not. If I blog about Easter, and it gets syndicated and the complains in the comments section about me bringing religion in the public realm, I couldn't care less. After al...08.03.2008 Ivan Cukic: Lancelot and resize feedbackFirst of all, Lancelot can be resized from now on. Just like any other window - drag any edge or corner, and you’ll change it’s size. But that is not the main reason behind my blogging about this. Since Lancelot /is/ a ground for experiments, here’s another one. Instead of just changing the mouse cursor when you reach one of the edges to one of the resize cursors, you get a more notifiable feedback - the color of the border changes as well. Since a screenshot is worth hundred lines of code… here it is:
